    I made a Slack bot that qualifies your sign-ups using GPT-3▲38

    OP here, this was super fun to build. It all started from playing around with Nat Friedman's GPT browser https://twitter.com/0xferruccio/status/1599014988693180417 Then after having this running for our product for a couple of days or so we decided to give 10 customers access and they loved it! So expanding access now feels great :)
